ive been building this on and off for about 4 years or so, with year long breaks between changing parts on it, finally after the 4th set of wheels on it, i think it now looks right, it hasnt got anything too flash in terms of parts as money dont grow on trees for me unfortunately,
trm f+f painted ford signal yellow
blue z rims with sunshine hubs
blue 901's with tech 4 levers
sugino c/r and spider
elina ul seat+post
tuff pads
cw copys (made in england possibly wilson bars)
blue beartraps
unbranded stem
dc copy seatclamp
i am gonna change the pedals and stem at some point but im finally happy about how it looks now the z rims are on it :daumenhoch:

bloody lovely ..... but if it was my bike i would throw away the seat post and pedals but thats just me """"" great build """ :4_17_5:

Looking sweet, agree with neil ditch the post n peds when you find a money tree (then tell me where it is, hopefully you find an orchard full!!!) :LolLolLolLol:
-
God that seat looks like it could do some damage ;D
Nice colours :daumenhoch:
-
looking good :daumenhoch:
-
i got one of these at the minute and the seat tube angle is a joke lol.
you dont need a lay back.a straight post is a lay back on these fookers lol.
-
Yep same for me,I like the bike but would bin the seat combo and peds ;)
-
Looks well :daumenhoch: , straight seatpost & jobs a goodun' .
-
the seat and post are all one unit, can i drill the rivets out and re rivet it to a straight post?
-
I think it looks sweet, but I do agree the seat post dont do it justice. I personally dont mind the peds.
Really clean build, nice one!

Yes ;)
Looks Good mate , but as the others have said lose the seat post and the pedals imo and shorten the rear cable :daumenhoch:
For a cheaper alternative on the peds , what about some Shimano SX's , there old school and they always tip up in the For sale section on here ;)
Nice build though , well done :daumenhoch:
-
Funky build :daumenhoch: Liking that yellow, it works great against the blue a of the wheels and the colour of the skinwalls :coolsmiley:
Never been a fan of the Elina UL seats so have to agree with MattDub and the pedals I have to agree with you ;) Only because I think they
dont do any faovours to what I've said above :daumenhoch:
What tyres are they, they do look really nice :) where did you get them?
-
Have sent you a pm :daumenhoch:
-
tyres are freeway- dunno if there any good or not but my lbs had them as old stock and they cost me a fiver each, they look the part though and tyres are tyres when it comes to a 6 inch bunny hop and a half arsed endo which is all that will be done on it :D
-
Do they have anymore of those tyres? I'll have a pair if they do :daumenhoch:
-
next time i go into town il have a look and see theres any left, it was a couple of years ago i got them so i wouldnt hold out too much hope though
